Year 7 was okay but year 9 was disgusting. Non stop bullying and the school do NOT deal with it very well. Surprised it's got a \"Good\" Ofsted rating because if I spoke to Ofsted, it would have been very negative!.\n\nTo begin with, Mr Gritton when I was there was a very good headteacher and was always pushing staff to try their hardest. Staff responded well for the most part.\n\nIn this school, teacher favouritism was very common and bullying was hardly ever dealt with across all year groups. My experience of the school buses was appalling. Constant fighting on those buses and foul language as well.\n\nSome teachers are good, like Mrs J Richtoff though others aren't. One teacher who I shan't say the name was extremely rude and was never willing to push their students to the maximum potential. I was one of those students. (at the time working at a grade 1 in maths). I quickly moved to a better school and was actually challenged as I requested and thus I achieved a very strong mathematics grade by the end of year 11.\n\nWhen you go to a school, you (as the student) want to attend a nurturing environment. Now, no matter what school you go to, there will always be kids who just don't like it. It's normal. However, one of the reviews pointing out teacher favouritism is true and was a regular occurrence during my time at the school.\n\nTeachers are genuinely disrespectful and mark exam papers incorrectly. (I Know from experience), then they accuse you of cheating despite the fact no such thing occured. Disgraceful school and doesn't even deserve 2 stars. The only reason why I give 2 stars is because the food is shockingly good and as mentioned above, year 7-8 was okay.\n\nWhat can this school do to improve?\n\n- Improve the quality of education by ensuring staff are always setting work to each pupils ability and to ensure staff believe In their pupils.\n- Improve the way that bullying is handled\n- Stop teacher favouritism\n- Improve mental health policy\n- Make sure that teachers don't dismiss bullying claims; I remember to this day the day I was strangled in a year 9 science class with a crocodile wire and the teacher watched and did nothing. This was in a laboratory by the way though either way, this should never happen.\n- give learners high target grades. No lower than a 4 (C). This way, students have something to work to and will thus believe in their ability even more and will try harder. The student will believe they can achieve. Which is the key factor to providing a very successful education. This is something my new school got right. Gave everyone high target grades.\n\nThis is all, thanks for reading and hope you improve your school for the better.","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"In depth review of Saint Benedict School 24th May 2022.\nHow was my experience?\nPoor experience!
